Ripe strawberry, cherry, sandalwood, rose and mineral aromas and flavors abound in this taut, racy red. Intense, succulent and harmonious, leaving a firm and mouthwatering finish. Terrific length. Best from
2023 through 2045. From France. - BS, Wine Spectator
A subtly floral-inflected nose combines notes of violet and lavender with those of spiced plum, dark currant and plenty of spice influence. The Tollot Bressandes is typically a fairly muscular wine but in 2017 it is more a wine of refinement on the moderately concentrated flavors that deliver good punch on the well-balanced and more complex finish that flashes just a hint of youthful austerity. “Sweet Spot" - Allen Meadows, Burghound
Mid crimson. A little riper and richer on the nose than the Beaune Clos du Roi. Immensely attractive on the palate, irresistible and I could almost drink this now. Intense fruit purity, smooth, polished texture and long fresh finish. Perfect harmony. Pure pleasure. - Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson .com
The 2017 Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru, matured in 50% new oak, has an elegant, floral, seductive bouquet of pure raspberry preserve and crushed strawberry scents, along with touches of clove and wild heather in the background. The palate has more energy and tension than the Corton Grand Cru and shows impressive precision and length toward the lightly spiced finish. Excellent. - Neal Martin, Vinous Media
